NTFS support is not provided by default in FC2, but it is a simple matter to get it up and running. http://www.fedorafaq.org/#ntfs However, as far as I'm aware, this driver only does read support dependably, and write support is experimental and dangerous. There is a project called 'Captive' (http://www.jankratochvil.net/project/captive/) which apparently provides full read/write support on NTFS by using the original Microsoft ntfs.sys file. I haven't tried this personally myself but it looks promising. The easiest way may be for you to install WindowsXP on a FAT32 type filesystem, as FC2 (and practically every other Linux distributions) has no problems reading and writing to this FS type.

Now my processor is AMD64. My Windows partition is of type NTFS, can I still read and write to Windows from Linux Fedora Core 2 or do I have to change the Windows partition type, or should I maybe make 3 partitions and re-install Windows XP in a different partition type VFAT or something. I'm using Partition Magic 8.0 to partition my hard drive and for the dual boot. Please help, thanks, Matt Upton
